Developer WolfEye Studios, which was founded by ex-Arkane Studios founder Raphael Colantonio has revealed their first game, Weird West, which will be published by Devolver Digital.
Raphael Colantonio originally stepped down from the Dishonoured and Prey studio in 2017 stating:
The last 18 years have been an amazing adventure – from starting Arkane in 1999, to making our first game, Arx Fatalis, to joining ZeniMax Media in 2010 and releasing the Dishonored series and Prey to critical acclaim – it is time for me to step out to spend some time with my son and reflect on what is important to me and my future.
But he’s back now with a brand new studio and Weird West, a game that has been revealed with a graphic and eye-popping trailer, but not much else to go on.
The game is described as a “dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures” and is an action-RPG with a simulation element. WolfEye Studios have stated that “each journey is unique and tailored to the actions taken […] everything reacts to the choices you make.”
Weird West doesn’t currently have a release date, but you can wishlist it on Steam where it’s listed as ‘coming soon.’
